hmmm , hav u thought about getting a smartcard n reader for ur pc and just drag n drop then loading them into esx1 ?

I hav an emu-0404 and used to run audio out and into my es-1 , but realized that was a waste of time and sound qaulity .
Card is ur best bet bud

you cant upload samples over midi

everything has to be done with a SM card when using the esx organizer

alright so just a standard midi to midi cable? that'll cover stereo and mono with good resolution right?

no , not at all .

M.I.D.I : Musical , Instrument , Digital , Interface ... thats what it means , and all midi cables are for is channeling/syncing midi signals ... NO SOUND COMES DOWN THEM

You need a smartmedia memery card n reader to load everything into then stick it in your esx1 .

If ur fresh to midi n think its the " be-all and end-all " , chill because its really only there for when YOU need it , whether it be time-syncing between gear or channeling your keyboard to other gear... its simply a go-between tool essentially .

Hope this helps . Anything else just PM me . L8tr

I just relized that the quote that i added in my last post said can't instead on can

but now i under stand what you ment by SM card

So I need to get a sm reader and plug it in via ...some cable that im not sure of... to my sound card's ...some cable that im not sure of... output. Then I need to get my samples together via esx organiser, load it all on to the sm card and stick it into my ESX-1, then download it onto my ESX-1 Hard drive?
A: What cables do i need?
B: What SM card should i get and what SM reader should I get (i need somwhere in the middle between quality and price)
C: What will it cost me in CA$H (USD)?

this is what i have

128 xd card
xd to smartmedia adapter

and i already had a smartmedia reader built into the front of my computer

but here is one

smartmedia reader
it plugs into a usb port

that should be all you need

i think it all comes out to be 30 dollars after shipping
